Just wanted to share some pics of my latest offroad adventure for me and my taco!
3 full days wheeling through the Mojave Preserve, everything from the dry lake bed, to some rock crawling, fast desert driving, playing in the sand dunes and water crossings!!

Great pics!! Makes me want to get out there right now!
What is the pile of stuff there.. is that rocks or what?

Before you get to Soda Lake the dry lake bed you drive through an area next to a dead volcano for a few miles where there is a whole bunch of lava rocks everywhere and a dry out lava flow, one of many traditions on the Mojave road is to pick one up there and take it to the middle of the lake bed and contribute to the stack.
There is a surprise in the middle of the pile of lava rocks but you'll have to travel the Mojave road to find out what it is!

For the uneducated, what is this permit thing.. I understand the basics..but you can't just go run a trail? You need a permit and there can only be so many vehicles? Sorry, I'm just jealous because Texas has (basically) no public wheeling locals. I want to be sure that when I finally say "F*ck it.. I'm going to Nevada/California and go wheeling" I'm covered.

For the Mojave Preserve specifically there is a limit of 7 rigs and 15 people max. without a permit. After 7 rigs with a max of 15rigs you need a permit.
For any other area that I wheel at you need a daily pass or an yearly pass that you get from the National Forest Service, $30 per year pass. I have yet to be checked for a pass by a ranger though, cuz I'm usually with around 10 rigs when I wheel.
Everything in Cali is protected and regulated.

How long does this run take? Where can I find more information about this trail, like where it is and such. A buddy of mine has an FJ and he and I are always looking for nice trails. That looks like an absolute blast. Any information would be great!
